    @KalvinCJ 🌷✦: Then, PlayStation consoles should also cease to exist in any physical form according to your logic.

  7. Imagine a company creating in-house CRM as a replacement for salesforce. Pretending that the in-house version is somehow better -- would be discarding millions of hours that were put into salesforce

    Instead, it's much more productive to use salesforce as a prototype while making the next version with better terms

  8. evaluating #LLM carefully and voicing concerns is not hate

    putting human before any system, algorithm or other construct is not hate

    it is appreciation for human ingenuity, reasoning and knowledge

    it is love of humanity
    nothing less

    after six years hype we see hard evidence
    #salami is producing #slop at scale
    wasting resources, eroding trust and putting #democracy, #privacy, #freedom, #ownership, #copyright ... you name it at risk (spoken diplomatically)

  9. [P] I'm sorry, but the "You don't own anything!" argument continues to bug me. You haven't eince the seventh gen! The only exceptions were the Wii, DS, PSP, and 3DS. If a game on a closed system requires a patch to play it properly (or at all), and that patch is licensed to you? You don't own it. The only games one owns are on jailbroken consoles, DRM-free PC games, or easily-cracked fully-patched PC games. And I'll explain why.

  10. Sony PlayStation no longer wants us to own video games. As I understand, they implied we are only being licensed to the games. Days ago, they emailed users the full Terms of Service or something similar, asserting Sony PlayStation policy. Ok, what's your opinion? Because I very rarely play video games. Plus, I have never owned a console.

  11. Bought a Kindle book last night. $9.99 for "The Hot Rock" by Donald E. Westlake. I read it years and years ago and wanted a copy. (Actually would like to get all the entire Dortmunder series eventually.)

    There are FIVE pages of ads between the cover page and the start of the actual book. I knew that I wasn't really "buying" the book. I'm merely getting use of it for as long as Amazon allows. But I'm drawing the line at FIVE pages of ads at the start of the book.

    I tried returning it this morning, but it "isn't eligible" for return.

    Time to go to bookshop.org and get a copy, a real, physical copy, of the book for my shelf.

  12. "We force animals to adapt to the constraints of farming modelled on the mass production of manufactured goods, whereas farming should respect the ethological needs of animals. This is a transgression because we grant ourselves an absolute right that we do not have. This violence towards animals is a condemnation of us. Yet our relationship with animals could be an opportunity to think about a way of inhabiting the Earth that makes coexistence with other species possible. This requires new foundations for ethics and politics."

  13. #Ownership gives a claim to economic value. #Governance gives decision-making authority. Sometimes they overlap. Sometimes they do not.

  14. RE: mastodon.online/@tomshardware/

    Another reason modern internet life sucks. We rely on cloud services you have no control over as a business. First time I've noticed it with a big service though.

    Like consumer streaming services: When people stopp buying MP3s they run the risk of only being able to access what the streaming services have licenses for, and you're at risk if they go bust. I have gaps in my Deezer playlists because of things disappearing. History getting lost for one reason or another.

  16. this may sound insignificant on a "grand scheme" or from populist perspective, but in practice it's actually very helpful and useful, and most importantly very grounded in reality.

    especially when it comes to entertainment services and their "discounts" under certain conditions, or quiet renewals. theguardian.com/commentisfree/

  17. #Thai students in disbelief after deadly #school #shooting
    "Student Purin Khumchoo said he felt te suspect was “a troubled kid” but appeared “very professional” when he'd aimed te gun at him.. #Thailand has one of te highest rates of #gun #ownership in te region & #pastpromises of tightening #gunlaws have not prevented repeated shootings🤦‍♂️. “I can’t believe how a child like him cld get access to a gun,” Pawarisa said. “I’m a bit worried tt other kids might also have guns”"

  18. it seems game publishers really want to set up their own cartels - similarly to DRAM companies - but in cloud gaming.

    'The "advent of streaming," Zelnick said, is something that Take-Two believes is "right around the corner, in terms of having something that's low latency and really works well for consumers. Machines that weren't game machines before will become game machines."' pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/ta

  19. This Is What a Personal Surveillance System Actually Looks Like

    You stop thinking of it as surveillance. It becomes “the system.” Just part of how things run.

  20. OSINT Isn’t About Skill Anymore. It’s About Systems

    There’s a moment, if you spend enough time in this space, where your attention changes. You stop looking at individual data points as things to extract. You start seeing them as inputs to a larger structure.

  21. The roaming cats of Bellingen are one of the biggest threats to wildlife

    "The average pet cat kills 110 native animals each year, roughly 320 million across Australia, and that doesn’t even include frogs or insects. The species is directly responsible for the third highest number of extinctions in Australia, after humans and chytrid fungus."

    Victoria has " effective legislation that’s empowering local government to take action on the issue of roaming pet cats."

    Local councils are tightening cat ownership laws to help protect wildlife and keep your pet safe

  22. Dr. Ida Halpern and Kwakwaka'wakw artist and singer Chief Mungo Martin worked together in the early 1950s to preserve more than 100 traditional West Coast #songs from disappearing when the #potlatch ban forbid their use.

    But did Halpern #betray the trust of Martin in the way she would go on to use the #recordings?

    A film by #documentary producer and director Barbara Todd Hager on the subject is in the works.

  23. "@historickomodo submission: “Salvador Allende didn’t die for this shit.”

    For newbies playing along at home, this #meme circulates all over the place on #liberal pages, and it’s filled with #contradictory pieces of #ideology. Firstly, one can’t really be a #capitalist and a #socialist at the same time – if you support capitalist #ownership over the means of #production, then you support capitalism; if you support #democratic ownership over the means of production, where people have a say in the #institutions and #activities they contribute to, then you support socialism. I don’t know how to make it more succinct than that. Also, #communism is the post-scarcity natural conclusion of socialism, a #stateless/ #moneyless/ #classless #society where #socially-operated #property is held in common and #people “contribute according to their #abilities and receive according to their #needs”; #statelessness is a #fundamental aspect of the ideology, ergo a #totalitarian #government “forcing everybody to be exactly equal” is not communism. 

    Secondly, channeling government power to curb capitalism’s self-destructive excesses is merely Keynesian #welfare capitalism or Scandinavian social democracy, both of which try to use the state to mitigate structural tension within the parameters of the system (and all-too-often to wither away class consciousness and pushes for actual socialist change). 

    Thirdly and lastly, “the #economy and society being run democratically to meet #human needs rather than #profit for a #greedy few” is literally socialism. Capitalism by definition will always have a tiny class of owners pulling the #economic and #political strings; as long as they own the means of production and accrue profit off the backs of the #laboring class, they will always, always have disproportionate power in society. Such is the #nature of class relations – throughout history, laboring classes have produced the things society needs while ruling classes have sat and accrued the most #wealth. If labor produces all, why not have a society democratically run by #laborers?"
